What explains why a prism separates white light into a light spectrum? A. The white light, on encountering the prism, undergoes both reflection and refraction; some of the reflected rays re-enter the prism merging with refracted rays changing their frequencies.
B. The white light, on entering a prism, undergoes several internal reflections, forming different colors.
C. The different colors that make up a white light have different refractive indexes in glass.
D. The different colors that make up a white light are wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye until they pass through the prism.
E. The different rays of white light interfere in the prism, forming various colors.
